A new poll of Iowa primary voters has Scott Walker’s numbers dipping compared to February, while one in New Hampshire has him faring best against Hillary Clinton among GOP contenders.

The Gravis Marketing Poll found Jeb Bush leading the GOP pack in Iowa at 16 percent, roughly where he was in the firm’s February survey, while Walker was next at 13 percent, followed by Marco Rubio at 12 percent, and Rand Paul and Ben Carson at 9 percent each.

Walker’s numbers are down from 24 percent in February. Meanwhile, Rubio is up from 7 percent in that poll.

In a head-to-head matchup with Hillary Clinton, Walker trailed 46-42.

Gravis polled 1,259 registered Iowa voters, including 388 Republicans, April 13. The overall poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, while the GOP primary margin is plus or minus 5 percentage points.

The former secretary of state led all Republicans she paired with; Walker and Paul did the best against her, both trailing by 9 points.

The firm surveyed 747 New Hampshire voters April 9-13, and the poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points. Eighty percent of the interviews were done over the phone, while 20 percent were done over the internet to reach those without landlines.
